In log-file, 'Estimation::mcmc:' information
Posted: Mon Sep 15, 2014 3:14 pmDear all,
To me, the information in the log-file concerning the block ''Estimation::mcmc:' is somewhat confusing, since, apparently, it is valid per MH chain, not for all chains combined. That is, if it says:
Estimation::mcmc: Total number of MH draws: 500000.
Estimation::mcmc: Finally I keep 100000 draws.
that means that I have to multiply these numbers by the number of chains to get the absolute numbers. Maybe `draws' could be replaced by `draws per chain'.
